The Basis on Which American Fisher
men Enjoy Their Rights

Copyright, 1857, by The California associated Press
WASHINGTON, December 15th.-It is al
legged that the terms of agreement which
the British Fishery Commissioners have
proposed to the American negotiators in
volved cessions to the British Government
on the Pacific Coast, in exchange for privil-
eyes desired by American fisherman on the
Atlantic Coast. The United States has
always held that Behring Sea is a mare
chaustrnl, or closed sea, and has captured a
number of Canadian fishing vessels for
trespassing there.
Now Mr.. Chamberlain is said 10 have
proposed that if the United States will
allow Behring Sea to be an open sea, and
allow Canadians all the rights there, and
also pay the indemnity which they claim is
due on the seizure of about twenty of the
Canadian vessels during the last two years,
and which is estimated at $500, 600, then the
English and Canadian authorities will
grant all the privileges asked for by the
American fishermen on the eastern coast.

New YORK, December 15th.-This even

dent. but he has no more right there than
he has to the throne of Great Britain.
Cleveland could no more get the electoral
votes of Mississippi, Louisiana and South
Carolina than ne could those of Pennsyl-
vanla, Vermont and Ohio. There are over
10000 more colored men than white in
Mississippi. Not less than one-third of the
whites vote the Republican ticket,
and no more than one-tenth of the black
vote the Democratic ticket The State is
always surely Democratic They 20 through

soon as the Democratic conventions are over
the polls are closed. Sometimes there is
difficulty i'll getting Democrats to falsify
the returns, but when frustrated in this
way they sometimes resort to violence.
These frauds are perpetrated mainly be-
cause the general sentiment of the country
tolerate them. Until the people of the
North get their eyes open these things will
continue in the South. The speakers idea
OF remedy was 10 reduce the representa-
ton of the Southern States. Then. if the
colored men could not be represented, they
would have the satisfaction of knowing
that their vote was not going to the enemy.

THE BUILDING GOES DOWN

He had just reached the door and was
about TO open it, when, in an instant, he
was in absolute darkness, made horrible by
the sound OF falling bricks and crashing
timbers. 1t took him but moment to
realize that the house had fallen and that
he himself had been struck down and i'm
prisoned in q mass of debris His efforts
to release himself were futile. To add to
his agony, above the awful noise of the
storm he could hear shouts for help. Not
knowing how his wife and children had
Jared or where they were, his position was
intensified by finding his most strenuous
struggles to loosen himself fruitless. He
was truly miserable.
The cries and screams for help of the
guest in the hotel finally brought neigh
Dor named Holley to the scene of the
| wreck.
Mr.. Arnold was the first to attract his at
tention. Mr.. Holley, after considerable
work, managed to remove the imprisoning
wreckage, and Arnold crawled out. 1t was
with great fear that he searched for his
family.
Above the noise of the wind he could
hear the voice of his baby crying: "Oh,
papa oh, papa where are you, papa ?''
The man worked with q giants strength
to clear away the fragments impeding his
way. He called loudly on his wife and
children, but only once be heard the feeble
reiteration Of his baby's cry for him Other
wise there came no reply but the noisy
gusts of wind
After an hours work Mr. Arnold, bv the
telp OF neighbors, cleared q passage-wav
and entered the room where he had left his
family. They were found under the tim
bers and, to all appearances, dead.

strength, removed the debris, and last of all

Blood oozed from wounds in her temple
The husband lifted his wife's head on his
knee, and weeping like a child called on
her to answer him. Her only response was
weak MY baby my baby; where is my
baby?' With her lips moving, as if form
ing these words, she expired.
The ten-year-old daughter Claudia, was
dead when found. The baby lay in the
bed, bat although severely cut about the
head and covered with blood, it was safe.
The mother and child were removed to
shelter, and the work of rescuing the in
mates then continued, and after several
hours all were accounted for Not one of
them escaped without injury, and in many
instances escape from death was miracu-
lous.-

Houses Wrecked, Lives Lost and Prop
erty Destroyed by a Hurricane.
Los ANGELES, December 15th.-In addi-
ton to the demolition by the storm of
hotels. houses and roofs in the San Gabriel
valley, reported Tuesday night, by far the
greatest disaster, entailing as it did the
death of two persons and the serious in
jury to a number of others, occurred at
Crescenta Canada, small settlement about
twelve miles north Of this city.
The new hotel at this place, begun eight
months since, was finished two weeks ago
and Edwin NJ. Arnold, a recent arrival
from the East, took charge of it as man
ager. His family, consisting of a wife and
two daughters, ten and three years of age,
live with him, occupying rooms on the
lower floor. About sixteen guests were
housed in the building. The house was
built, as almost all frame buildings are in
this section, simply rising from the ground
without anchoring or piling.
The building showed signs of straining
under the gale during Monday and Tues
day, and it was determined to brace it
when the storm abated sufficiently. The
guests and Mr.. Arnold's family also made
up their minds during Tuesday if the wind
kept up they would leave the house at the
first indication of its weakening and seek
shelter behind a large rock in the vicinity
About half-past twelve Mr.. Arnold, fear
ing a catastrophe, told his wife to dress
| herself and children, and they would go to
the rock as it was hazardous to remain
any longer in the rocking building He
also extinguished the lamp and lit several
| candles. The storm at this time seem at
its hight. The rafting of windows and
| awful creakiug of the timbefs and walls be-
| came appalling. Again urging his wife to
| make haste, he went toward the front door
to see what the chances for their escape
were.
